The "new boat" is a secret it's just overkill for the FOUNTAIN right now. As you know it's always about the upgrade......BZ

Cory,

Did your buddy have an auxilliary transmission cooler installed? I have one on my 93 Sub and it still shifts like the very first day I brought it home. Buddy of mine who owned a transmission repair shop strongley suggested that I put one on, 150 bucks what the heck. He made a point that the "factory transmisson cooler" is nothing but a line running thru the radiator. and it really does not get that much colling according to him. I'm in the market for and 2005 Excursion and when I get it I will have one installed. Just my .2cents.
